" Sister Liuli."
As Liuli emerged from the storage room, Jiang Sui Zhou Keyu, and the others stood up one after another, their eyes filled with worry, tension, and above all, concern.
"I'm sorry to have worried everyone." Liuli bowed deeply, full of apology, and said, "I felt like everyone was a stranger to me just now, and I was so scared that I hid in the master bedroom. I'm really sorry."
"I'm so glad you're alright, Sister Liuli." Jiang Sui breathed a sigh of relief, her smile returning. As she ladled out rice porridge, she said, "Are you hungry? Come and eat."
"Good."
Liuli sat down at the guest table, glanced at the thin rice porridge in front of her, then at the four simple dishes on the table, and froze on the spot.
Jiang Sui tensed up, thinking, "Is Sister Liuli looking down on the meager food? After all, she's a rich heiress; she can casually pull out a card worth millions, and her wedding ring is worth 120 million RMB."
Liuli picked up a piece of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, slowly chewing and savoring the taste. " Suisui, you didn't make this dish, did you?"
" Yaya made it." Jiang Sui breathed a sigh of relief and tugged at her shy best friend, " Sister Liuli, I've never been to the kitchen before, how could I possibly cook?"
Seeing Liuli's furrowed brows, Jiang Sui said half-jokingly, " Sister Liuli, could it be that in your dream I was a very good cook?"
" Suisui, first of all, that wasn't a dream; it really happened," Liuli corrected. "Secondly, you are indeed a very good cook. You're proficient in stir-frying, deep-frying, steaming, boiling, stewing, and braising—your specialties are [the Eight Great Vajras and the Four Beauties]."
"Huh?" Jiang Sui exclaimed in surprise, "I'm a little cook?"
Huyan Ya, Zhou Keyu, and the others all turned their attention to Jiang Sui, finding it hard to believe. Jiang Sui had a fiery temper and was best at cursing while working; cooking was something they never even dared to imagine.
Liuli tentatively asked, " Suisui, under what circumstances would you willingly cook for a man?"
Jiang Sui recalled Liuli's earlier sleep-talking, about the "brother" who loved her and was willing to buy her King of Glory badges. "If I had to say, he was my closest blood relative, loved me, and was willing to give me money to spend."
Liuli exclaimed with delight, " Suisui, you have a blood relative, an older brother, three years older than you. His name is [ Su Hang ]. He loves you very much and is willing to support your love of eating grains with Silver."
" Su Hang?" Jiang Sui frowned, searching her memory. She couldn't recall a blood relative named Su Hang, or even a man named Su Hang. "Although I've never heard of this name before, but..."
Liuli hurriedly asked, "But what?"
Jiang Sui crossed her arms and rested her chin on her hand. "If I really had an older brother in real life, I would definitely be afraid of him."
What are you afraid of him for?
Jiang Sui shrugged and said, "An elder brother is like a father, after all. With the pressure of blood ties, he'll definitely be as strict with me as a father is with his daughter. He might even forbid me from dating."
Liuli was greatly disappointed. She had hoped to awaken some of Suisui's memories of her senior Su Hang, but to no avail. However, she suddenly realized something and her crimson eyes widened.
"Are you in a relationship?"
"Meow meow meow." Jiang Sui denied it outright. Pang Guang kept glancing at her best friend next to her. Huyan Ya blushed and buried her head in her porridge. Under the table, a sinful Little White hand was resting on her thigh.
"That's good." Liuli clutched her chest with both hands, looking relieved. Now that her senior Su Hang had disappeared, as his wife, she naturally had to inherit his will and take on the responsibility of caring for her younger sister Jiang Sui.
Jiang Sui cannot date until she finds her senior!
"Your name is Zhou Keyu, right?" Liuli looked across the table, her crimson eyes flashing with sharpness, and said unkindly, "How we met, and how I joined the Sovereign Dominion Team, I hope you can tell me honestly."
Zhou Keyu chuckled wryly and said, " Liuli, in the real world, we're more than ten different social classes. How else could we have met? Of course, we met in the game Honor of Kings."
Liuli persisted, saying, "Be more specific."
"Okay, okay." Zhou Keyu unscrewed a 500ml can of sugary cola, downed it in one gulp, let out a burp, and recalled, "It was probably around the end of July when I was streaming my King of Glory Legendary 100 Stars promotion match, and I was matched against your King of Glory male account [ Yugong ]."
"In that 100-star promotion match, I played Marco Polo, and you played Su Lie. At ten minutes, the Dark Tyrant Rex trolled your Su Lie, who used his ultimate to wipe out five opponents. I, Marco Polo, instantly followed up, helping your Su Lie get a pentakill!"
"After the match, you liked my post, and on a whim, I added you as a friend, and you accepted."
Liuli's expression changed slightly.
This match against her senior marked the beginning of their official acquaintance. At the time, her senior was using a new account, Exalted Emperor, streaming her attempt to reach the Legendary Hundred-Star King with a perfect record and all MVPs. In the last game, she was matched with her male account, [ Yugong ], who specialized in playing tanky support characters.
The senior player was playing Marco Polo, while she was playing Su Lie. In the ten-minute Dark Tyrant team fight, the senior player's Marco Polo used his ultimate to hit five enemies, and she, Su Lie, instantly joined the team fight, helping the senior player's Marco get a pentakill!
Afterwards, they liked each other's posts, and the senior added her as a friend, even mistaking her for a guy, calling her "brother" repeatedly in their text chat.
"What if I join the Sovereign Dominion Team?"
Zhou Keyu recalled, "It must have been the evening of August 3rd. I remember watching the KPL League live that day. Chengdu AG Super Play Club defeated Hangzhou LGD.NBW 3-0. I was so excited."
"The idea of playing in the King of Glory Professional League resurfaced, so the next day, August 4th, I created a new team, Sovereign Dominion, and invited you to join, just to give it a try. You accepted."
Her Liuli, glass-like eyes shimmered.
On August 3rd, the veteran participated in the offline finals of the Overlord Feast, defeated the Chengdu AG Super Play Club, which was about to become the overall Overlord, and won the title of the Strongest Overlord.
On August 4th, in order to participate in the Clash of Kings, the senior created the Sovereign Dominion Team and invited her to join the team as the chief vice-captain of Sovereign Dominion.
After a moment's consideration, Liuli asked, "Have you been the Captain of the Imperial Crown the Imperial Crown Team since its inception?"
"Yes." Zhou Keyu nodded.
Liuli asked, "May I see your King of Glory account Captain of the Imperial Crown?"
"Of course." Zhou Keyu took out his iQOO phone, skillfully logged into his King of Glory account, and handed it over.
Liuli took it and checked the game's homepage.
Game ID: [ Xiang Yang ]
Team Position: Captain of the Imperial Crown.
Preferred Hero: Mulan ( Major National Badge )
Highest historical rank: Legendary Hundred-Star King.
Glory Power Ranking: 20250 points, top-ranked Mulan in the national server; top 50 Guan Yu in the Minor National Badge ranking; top 100 Erlang in the Minor National Badge ranking; top 50 Meng Tian in the provincial ranking; top 100 Yuan Ge in the provincial ranking...
"One Major National Badge, two Minor National Badge, and two provincial standards." Liuli tilted her head in confusion, "How come you're so weak?"
"Huh?" Zhou Keyu said with a dark expression, "Not Liuli, do you think everyone is like you? You're Major National Badge for all support heroes, your gaming talent is approaching that of top KPL players, and you're on the same level as AG's champion roaming Dashuai."
"My gaming talent is pretty average, you could even say it's at the bottom." Liuli's little face was full of admiration. "But when I was eight, a senior gave me voice guidance and helped me review my games, which improved my gaming talent."
"Oh my god~" Zhou Keyu said, rubbing his forehead. "Is it that senior you made up in the game named [ Imperial Emperor ], whose real name is [ Su Hang ]?"
"I ask you to take back that joke." Liuli's eyes were cold as she spoke, each word distinct. "Senior truly existed in this world, but for some unknown reason, he disappeared, and everyone has lost all memories of him."
"I'm sorry, I take it back." Zhou Keyu's greatest strength is his ability to be flexible and adaptable. Besides, Liuli is a wealthy woman who brought her own investment to the team. If Sovereign Dominion didn't have Liuli's sponsorship, they wouldn't be able to compete in professional matches at all.
Liuli's gaze softened as she continued to examine Zhou Keyu's King of Glory account. Soon, her eyes fell on the team section, and with a light touch of her finger, a settlement ranking report for the Imperial Crown Team popped up instantly!
"Um?"
